What has the power to heal?

1. How people cope physical injuries or disabilities

  • Try not to let people laugh at you or insult your for your disability
  • Don't think of it that much, think happy thoughts to focus anything but the pain
  • Get help or advice from doctors, professionals, or even friends
  • Try activities where your injury or disability won't hold you back
  • Let the injury gradually heal until you can do what you normally do
2. How people deal with emotional pain
  • Think of happy thoughts, distract yourself from it; the more moody you think you are, the more sad and dark you are
  • Spend more time with friends or people who make you happy, good friends are always there for you, talk to them, go shopping with them, play video games with them, I don't know, something
  • Give yourself sometime to calm down
  • Don't let the pain overcome you
      People cope physical injuries by letting it heal and letting it rest, so that it could quickly return to its original state. Usually with the help of a professional  On the other hand, disabled people would not let the teasing of people sink into them and try not to let their opinions overcome them. These people tend to try and think of other more important things, or happy thoughts, to distract themselves from the pain. They also do this to realize what they can still do to keep them busy and still excel at.
      Sometimes you get moody. Or flustered. Or even brokenhearted. What should you do when you meet the situations? First--and most importantly--you must give yourself time to calm down. If your head is clearer, the pain subsides easily. Distraction always helps, people like to think of happy thoughts and do something to keep them company so that they can put the pain aside and focus on other things (without the pain effecting them and breaking them down, of course). Don't let the pain overcome you, instead spend more time with friends and family, people who make you happy can cheer you up and get your mind of the pain.
      What these two have in common is that: both types of pain--whether physical or emotional--are hard to overcome. But not impossible. People who deal with these issues like to distract themselves from the pain. Asking for advice is also quite common and helpful. And most importantly, people who suffer from these types of pain refuse to let it overcome them or rule their life. If you let your disability rule your life, you will never be happy. Instead, turn it into an advantage. Don't let people talk about you because of what you can't do. Instead make them whisper in awe of what you can do better than a normal person can. Don't let emotional pain overcome you. It will make life gloomy. Think of the bright side of life and move on.

What makes a crowd turn into mob?

Sheep.

That's what.

Everybody is a sheep, you know you are....don't deny it.

A couple people start yelling flying pig and everyone else starts to nod.

It's just like "the Emperor's New Clothes"....

A crowd starts spreading a rumor and everyone else will follow them, even though they don't know what's going on.......It's just psychology.......Humans have a tendancy to just follow others when they're not sure where to go or what to do, because it seems like the people walking in one direction are right and sure about where they're going.

A crowd starts out small, then more and more people join the crowd as it expands and more people join, and then it becomes a mob...

A few people suggest and idea that's probably not true or maybe it is, and other people start to believe in that idea and follow their lead.......

Strange.

Facts

It is important to be sure of all your facts before you speak up about something serious.

Why?

It would humiliating and awkward if you don't know all your facts and information to a something serious while you're discussing.

Imagine talking about a car crash when you suddenly say: "it happened on Maple Street", but that's not true, it happened on a high speed rail.

How embarrassing is that?

Plus you might say something incredibly disrespectful that is not true.

If you get your information right, you won't make a mistake, and when someone asks you a question about a topic, especially something serious, you want to make sure you know how to answer the question that wouldn't mislead them....

For example, while talking about a serious topic like the funeral of the Japanese prime minister, it wouldn't be appropriate to say: "they threw hamburgers at the prime minister in the funeral, and also eat candy with the rice that is provided".

That is why it is important to get your facts straight.

By the way, according to the Japanese, the one food that you never eat with rice is candy.

What makes you brave?

Well, there must be a motivation for you to do something brave.

There are many times where you can be brave: singing in a talent show, standing up for your friend to a bully, or even just presenting in front of the entire school a speech.....But what persuaded you to do that?

It might be emotions, or motivations, or even desires that push you to be brave. There are just moments where you have to be brave.

For example, you see your best friend there eating a cookie, and out of no where a bully comes over and makes fun at his/her glasses....what would you do???? You wouldn't just sit there right???? That's when you strike back...That's when you become brave....

You let the anger and the annoyance become your power and energy to stand up to the bully, you don't get anything in return, so why do you do it???

Simple, a motivation.
